Board grants owner until March 7 to address water-damage and mold issues at 612 North Dust Street
Summary
Officer Barbara Bobolak told the NSP Code Compliance Board the owner of 612 North Dust Street has been working toward cleanup after tenant reports of water damage and mold; the board granted until March 7, 2025, to schedule inspection and threatened a one-time $250 fine if the inspection is not scheduled.
The NSP Code Compliance Board on Feb. 20 granted the owner of 612 North Dust Street an extension to correct code violations stemming from water damage and mold and to schedule an inspection by March 7, 2025.
Officer Barbara Bobolak presented case CCB-0330-2024 and said a tenant reported interior water damage and mold on May 6, 2024. Bobolak said the owner has had ongoing contact with code staff, had people on site performing cleanup, and accepted certified mail acknowledging the posted notice.
Bobolak recommended the board find the property in violation of section 74-146 and allow until March 7, 2025, to reach full compliance; she said that if the owner does not schedule the inspection and obtain a business-license receipt, the owner would receive a one-time fine of $250.
A motion to accept staff's recommendation was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote that recorded affirmative votes from Dan Coffer, Clifford Warren, Albert Szymanski, Aaron Dennis, Kathleen Brown and Ruth Kesmerich. The respondents were ordered to contact the code inspector and advised of their 30-day appeal right under Florida State statute 162.11.
The board noted that, as with other orders, repeat violations within five years could be treated as repeat offenses and carry steeper fines.
